Reminiscing for a Moment

“...My father... my good ol’ father has passed.”

The wide room that was once just brimming with surprise and happiness... now turns into a grieving moment. Almost everyone looks down.

The chief and his family hold their fists against their chests. They cannot believe what they just heard. It is like being struck by a massive blow of earthquake, uninvited and horribly shocking.

“...I see. Rogers... is already up there, isn’t he...?”

“Yeah. I’m sorry to bring you such news,” Marco apologized.

“No, kid. No need to bow down,” the chief told gently. The aged man’s face is still trying to regain composure. He’s the most shocked out of his family.

“...’twas saddening to hear his end. I, on behalf of my family, and the entire village, express my deepest condolences to you and your family.”

“(Marco...)” Nina looked saddened. Marco appeared to be unbothered. But deep inside him, Nina can feel a discord within his voices.
